I went through a pretty bad bout of carpal about ten or eleven years ago, in my right hand and wrist. It was getting so bad that my pinky and finger next to it were going dead and numb. As luck would have it I was at a local clinic pharmacy one day picking up a scrip when I noticed these great little hand, wrist and forarm tensor braces that attached with velcro. Best ten bucks I ever spent.

Started wearing it, and also switched my mouse and mouse pad over to the left side of the keyboard and had to learn to work that way. Did that for over ten months, and by then my right hand had healed back up. I switched the mouse back to the right and I've never had the problem return.

I've never liked those curvy ergonomic keyboards though. My mousepad has a wrist support rest, and my chair is totally ergonomic, but I prefer my regular keyboard.
